Staying positive

My wife was recently diagnosed with tnbc and we are currently in the middle of all the tests, biopsies, meetings, scheduling nightmares. I know everyone says this is the worst part, I’m trying to keep my head afloat for both of our sakes. My wife is 37 and we have a 17 month old at home. Our friend group and family have been there for us so much already. My slogan has been “one day at a time” because that’s all we can manage.

I don’t even know what I need or hope to accomplish by typing this but I’m committed to staying positive and helping her beat this thing. We just got mri results yesterday and it wasn’t good news. Currently in the waiting area as she gets her bone scan and CT. We are also getting a second opinion from a comprehensive breast cancer center here in town. We are now very familiar with a lot of terminology and phrases we’d never heard of before. Keynote 522 is already the plan and we have a port install date. I am in the process of contacting my company HR department so I can figure out how to manage work expectations.

I will take any and all kind words, thoughts, advice, anecdotes, whatever you got for me. I am so ready for her chemo to start so we can start shrinking this stupid thing inside of her and getting rid of it. Thanks for reading.
